Lol of course. Your source is this cesspool of false information. Jimbo was a GREAT qb coach. However the dude ran so many bubble screens I thought my head would explode. Outside of 2001 (and even then it was only post ole miss) our offenses were mediocre. 06 was good after auburn. However 07's was better than that so can't blame miles. Also there wasn't much change in play calling in the offense from Saban to miles.

Don't like Jimbo as our coach either, just remembered him saying that. shite it was a long time ago. Searched the web and all that came up was the TD crap. Whether right or wrong I don't want Jimbo back. Way more creative options out there. Bottom line is we all agree a change is needed and soon.

Tiger fans hated him as OC. Hated the play calling, the decision making, and basically treated him like every OC that we've had. Including Miles.

If only these so-called "coaches" had half the football knowledge that the guy sitting thirty rows up had, we'd never lose.

Not really. The acc is terrible and he is still losing games to crap teams that he shouldn't. I'll give him creedit for recruiting well, but the product on the field isn't any different than it has been since he's been they. Perenial 3-loss team with at least one loss to inferior competition/year.

Shaw- He may be better than Les in the long haul, but could very well fall off after Harbaugh's recruits start to graduate. Need a few more years on this one. Smart- Never been a head coach. We don't need anyone with no experience, no matter how successful they were as an assistant. With the state of our program, we just don't need to take that risk. Swinney- That shit's funny right there Briles- Got to respect what he did at Houston and Baylor. That said, I would be very hesitant about his ability to be successful in the SEC. But I can understand this one, albeit disagree with it Patterson- I can see why someone would want Patterson over Miles Peterson- See Patterson Kingsbury- Right, because a 33 year old, whose highest experience is as an offensive coordinator, is really a smart hire Mullen- Meh, I don't see this one. Don't have an exact reason to point to, so I can accept if other people want him over Les, but I just don't see it. Freeze- Same situation as Shaw, though he definitely had less talent to work with. But no way has he done enough to make it worth the risk Petrino- Really?
